@brusby - I've only been hanging around RFF since 2017. That makes me quite a newbie around here relatively speaking. I'm purely a hobbyist and a casual one at that. No matter what anyone else might think about my images, I tend to be my own worst critic. Should I manage to capture an image that I myself am truly happy with, that is more than enough for me. I often look to RFF for inspiration and with that in mind i'm grateful to anyone who takes the time to share their images here regardless of whether or not those images connect with me.
My best suggestion would be to consider sharing your images for the same reason that I and so many others have, simply to share them so that others can view them. Honestly I'm happy just to have people look at my images regardless of whether or not they might comment on them. Rather than focusing on what you wish to receive, why not focus on giving your comments and likes to others instead? Lead by example if you will. I know that I've found it to be enjoyable to praise the work of others here whose images truly inspire me.
I've noted numerous times in the past that @rhl-oregon (who commented above), @Erik van Straten, and @helenhill seemingly always manage to create images that I admire and that inspire me. Yet I don't often comment on each individual image they've shared here. Were I to do so it would likely seem very repetitive at this point. I can imagine that there are others who feel the same way about your images, even though they might remain silent. Maybe try giving people the benefit of the doubt. As long as you are happy with the images that you've shared and enjoyed the process of capturing those images, then you're doing okay by my standards.
